Secret Wealthy Marriage

Avery Graham thought, Bernard Taylor was only somewhat familiar with Bryan Hawkins, so why in the world did Celia Wade and Ryan Parker invite him to dinner? It really can’t be helped; she had finally managed to forget last night’s dream, but upon seeing Bernard Taylor, that dream shockingly became vivid again. In front of Bernard, she felt utterly shameless.

"You’re blushing just like this; in the past, I remember you weren’t so thin-skinned," Carolline Ruiz purposely teased at this moment.

"..." You stinker, Carolline Ruiz, Avery cursed in her heart before raising her eyebrows, clenching her fist, and pretending it was a microphone, "Hey, pregnant lady, I want to interview you. Tell us about how it feels to get pregnant on your honeymoon and then being forced to cut the trip short."

Carolline Ruiz was taken aback while Celia Wade and Mia Parker started laughing.

"Hey, hey, hey, Avery, no bullying my wife, or I’ll have Bernard sort you out," Bryan Hawkins quickly protected his wife to the admiring tsk-tsks of everyone.

"...What’s that got to do with him?" Avery muttered her defense quietly, her face once again reddening uncontrollably.

The volume of her protest was low and coupled with her flushed face, her defense suddenly seemed to lack confidence.

"You had bad judgement, were blind to people’s true nature, and could not discern their character. You should listen to Bernard Taylor’s opinions more in the future; you guys were partners before, so no need for politeness." They had all heard about the Michael Auclair incident.

It was when they were having dinner with just Bernard Taylor that he told Carolline Ruiz about it, and since Carolline knew some of it, when she asked Bernard, he did not hide the truth.

Carolline Ruiz originally wanted to teach Michael Auclair a lesson for Avery’s sake, but Bryan Hawkins stopped her, allowing Bernard to handle it in his own way.

Had it not been for that, with her protective nature towards friends, would Michael Auclair’s days have been so peaceful?
